Expert excision of thyroglossal duct cyst & sinus surgery for children in Deoghar,the gold-standard surgery for thyroglossal duct cyst and sinus — at Aria Healthcare, Kunda Road, Deoghar. Serving children across Jharkhand and neighbouring states.
A thyroglossal duct cyst is the most common congenital neck mass in children, forming when the thyroglossal duct — a channel that normally disappears before birth — fails to close completely. It typically appears as a painless, smooth midline swelling in the neck that moves when the child swallows or sticks out the tongue.
Left untreated, the cyst can become infected, rupture into a sinus, or — rarely — undergo malignant change. Early surgical excision is the only definitive treatment.
At Aria Healthcare, Deoghar, Dr. Saurav Sultania performs the
the internationally accepted gold-standard operation. The surgery removes the cyst along with the central portion of the hyoid bone and a core of tongue muscle to prevent recurrence. It is performed under general anaesthesia and most children go home within 24–48 hours.
Dr. Sultania holds an MCh in Paediatric Surgery from SMS Medical College, Jaipur and an MS in General Surgery from IGMC — bringing subspecialty-trained expertise to Deoghar that was previously unavailable in the Santhal Pargana region. Parents from Deoghar, Dumka, Giridih, Godda, and neighbouring Bihar districts now choose Aria Healthcare for their child's surgical needs.
If you notice a swelling in the front of your child's neck, do not delay. Early diagnosis prevents infection and reduces surgical complexity. Book a consultation at Aria Healthcare, Kunda Road, Deoghar — call 88 77 77 22 77.

A thyroglossal duct cyst is a congenital (present from birth) fluid-filled swelling that develops in the front of the neck when the thyroglossal duct does not close properly before birth. It is the most common neck swelling in children.
The classic sign is a smooth, round, painless lump in the midline of the neck — between the chin and the breastbone — that moves upward when the child swallows or sticks out the tongue. It can occasionally become painful or infected.
Yes. Surgery — specifically the Sistrunk procedure — is the only curative treatment. Antibiotics treat infections temporarily but the cyst will return without surgery. Aspiration (draining) alone leads to near-100% recurrence.
The Sistrunk procedure is the internationally accepted gold-standard surgery for thyroglossal duct cyst. It removes the cyst, the central part of the hyoid bone, and a core of tongue muscle to eliminate the entire ductal remnant and prevent recurrence.
Yes. The Sistrunk procedure is a well-established, safe operation performed worldwide in children of all ages including infants. At Aria Healthcare, it is performed under general anaesthesia by Dr. Saurav Sultania, MCh Paediatric Surgery.
Dr. Saurav Sultania at Aria Healthcare, Kunda Road, Deoghar (Jharkhand) performs this surgery. He holds an MCh in Paediatric Surgery from SMS Jaipur — the highest specialisation in child surgery in India.
Most children are discharged within 24–48 hours. Full recovery typically takes 7–10 days. The surgical scar is small and placed in a natural neck crease for a cosmetically favourable result.
Malignant change in a thyroglossal duct cyst is rare (less than 1% of cases) but is a recognised risk, which is one of the key reasons early surgical excision is recommended rather than watchful waiting.
With the Sistrunk procedure, the recurrence rate is very low (around 2–5%). Simple cyst excision alone without removing the hyoid bone carries a much higher recurrence rate of up to 50%, which is why Dr. Sultania performs the complete Sistrunk procedure.
